  • Hey there! In today’s video, we're gonna talk about the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) - a super popular trading indicator that lots of traders use. But before we dive into MACD, we gotta first understand how other technical indicators like moving averages or the exponential moving average work and the issues that come with using them while trading.
    Once we've got that down, we can move onto the MACD indicator. Basically, the MACD is based on two moving averages - a fast one and a slow one - and it plots the difference between the two on a chart. Traders use this info to spot trends, shifts in momentum, and even potential buy or sell signals.
    So, how do you use the MACD indicator? Well, one way is to look for crossovers between the MACD line and the signal line. If the MACD line crosses above the signal line, that's a bullish trend, while a crossover below the signal line could be a bearish trend.
    Another way to use the MACD is to look for divergences between the MACD line and the price action of an asset. For example, if an asset's price is going up but the MACD is going down, that could mean a trend reversal. Let us know in the comments if you wanna learn more about MACD divergence and how to use it!
    Of course, it's important to remember that the MACD isn't foolproof. You should always use it alongside other forms of analysis to make smart trading decisions.
    So, if you wanna get better at trading and have an ace up your sleeve, you should totally grab your coffee to master trading the MACD indicator! It's a sweet tool that can help you spot trend reversals and signals for buying and selling. Trust me, it's super useful and can definitely help you make better trading decisions.

    In the last example where you mentioned that MACD didnt work, MACD actually worked by giving a signal much earlier when it moves below 0 before the crossover, which means that the market will go bearish.

    My experience is(For early reversal trading entry)---If 3 different settings of MACD(say macd 3,10,9--macd 6,13,9--macd 12,26,9) show that momentum on all 3 settings has reversed(as evidenced by heights of histograms) say on 15 minute charts,THEN VERY HIGH CHANCE THAT TREND HAS INDEED REVERSED.Your comments/wisdom is invited.

    Try simply entering all 3 MACD moving averages into a chart, (12, 26, 9) and you can see how distorted the MACD can be yet the baseline cross over will be the same. To understand the MACD you need to enter these 3 MA's.

    • @PrateekSinghLearnApp
      @PrateekSinghLearnApp  Рік тому

      No, like there's no specific indicator just to identify sideway market. Anyways, a simple effective way to identify if the market is going sideways is to look at the price chart, and see if the prices aren't making any higher highs and higher lows OR lower highs and lower lows. PS. Use different timeframes to identify this and you will have a much clearer picture of what the trend looks like.
